Looking forward to seeing Dunston and Golden in Boise. Who do you guys expect to make the rotation? I'd figure Lang and Underwood would likely be in there, no?

Yeah, and Blackburn too. Beyond that, it gets iffy. Maybe Hamann?

I always forget Blackburn for some reason. Hamann would make sense. Should be a pretty fun rotation.

Lost some luster with McNeil getting hurt. It's possible Maples would be stuck at Boise if Conway hadn't gotten hurt.

3rd day and 4th game since the last Vitter's sighting. Any word?

[Little Slide Rooter]

Almora 0-1. Big slump for him.

[Epsteenie]

Almora just got pulled from the game after hurting his leg trying to make a play in the OF.

[BeerHere]

According to Wayne Randazzo, Almora left the game after injuring his leg going after a line drive over his head. "Noticeable limp"

[treebird]

if theo is so smart why did he draft mr glass

Son of a bitch.

Why can't it ever just be Ty Wright or Jonathon Mota.

[bukie]

Because then they'd become your favorite prospect to watch for and we'd never hear the end of it.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Nothing that turns me on to a prospect like an injury. No sir.

[ctcf]

Because Bleacher Nation is awesome:

 

UPDATE: You folks are awesome. A new set of @ updates from folks on the ground there at the game say that Almora has returned to the dugout and appears to be walking around all right. Obviously that doesn’t rule out a serious injury, but it isn’t a bad sign. Fingers remain crossed.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Seriously, is it just me or have there been like 5 or 6 injury scares (some minor and major) with Almora since being drafted? I remember him crashing into a wall at Boise last year. Scared the crap out of me.

[ctcf]

Albert Almora @albertalmora

No worries! Ill be back in a day or 2!! Good win boys!!! #slaphands

[ctcf]

@sahadevsharma: Hoyer says early reports on Almora are that it's a hamstring injury, but Cubs will update us when we get official word

Yeah, but they've all been game related, meaning that it's not a single injury that becomes re-aggravated. Those are the ones you worry about.

[davell]

Good to see him tweet its not serious. At least Vogelbach hit a HR.

Oh, forgot James Pugliese who should be in Boise's rotation.
